Description:

Dark Knight’s success was expected, and if you were lucky enough to see the movie you probably are still experiencing the after effects of the late Heath Ledger’s terrifying performance as the “Joker”. An Oscar nomination is inevitable for Ledger and I think it is safe (and sad) to say that he is the James Dean of this generation.

Only one star has won an Oscar from beyond the grave (Peter Finch, Network in '76) so we shall see if the statue will go to Heath early next year. I have not read one bad review of Ledger… even The New Yorker gave him a rave (and that says a lot). With all due respect, this is one hellava way to go out.

Sign this petition if you feel that Heath Ledger's performance as "The Joker" deserves an Oscar.

Heath Ledger merece um oscar concerteza! Ótima atuação em The Dark Knight, roubou a cena do Batman e fez um coringa psicopata como ninguém jamais fez. Superou Nicholson!

I'm a movie maniac, and I have to say, Heath Ledger as the Joker was...... amazing. If he does not get the Oscar, then something is seriously wrong with them. And it's not just because of his death that makes me say this; I was saying the same thing after the movie and so was everyone else I know that saw it, and I didn't even find out that he was dead until a week after I saw it. (The TV news shows in Indonesia use hand cameras, and I don't think they would have been able to take a picture of Heath Ledger. Don't even get me started by saying they could have used the internet.)

First Of All, His Performance Was Good, But Its Not That Hard To Look Crazy With All This Makeup On Your Face, I Still Haven't Seen An Actor Who Deserve An Oscar This Year(2008)But I Hope It Wont Be Ledger, Because He Became A Legend Only Because He Died, I
Hope "Milk" (Sean Penn) Will Be The Start Of The Nominations For Actors This Year
